Coppia (1101 W Van Buren) has topped out along the Eisenhower Expressway
Power Construction has topped out at Coppia, the 19-story, 298-unit residential tower in the West Loop from developer Pizzuti. A design by Goettsch Partners, Coppia is expected to open to residents in 2024. The walling-off of the Eisenhower Expressway continues to stretch westward.
Photos are from August 28, 2023:
Hyde Park Labs (Harper Court Phase II) has gone 3-D in Hyde Park
Made my first visit to Hyde Park Labs (at that link, click on “View Brochure” for everything you’ll ever want to know about Hyde Park Labs) at 5201 South Harper since this was still a fenced-off dirt lot waiting to get started. Well, not only has it started, but the crane’s in the air and the core has risen to — let’s call it the fifth floor. They’re going up to 13.
Let’s see if I have all the players correct on this project, the 2nd phase of Harper Court:
Trammell Crow Company and Beacon Capital Partners are the developers.
Elkus Manfredi Architects is the design architect.
Power Construction is the general contractor, with an assist from UJAMAA
Adjustable Concrete Construction is the concrete contractor.
Now, how ’bout some permit dates:
Demo of the single-story building previously on this site, issued 1/17/2023
Tower crane, issued 2/22/2023
“Selective” demo for existing building & parking garage, issued 4/6/2023
Caissons, issued 5/9/2023
Full build, issued 6/15/2023
And finally, some photos of progress, taken August 21:

Donate4600 North Marine moves ever closer to exterior completion
Don’t get me wrong; I know there’s still a good deal of work yet to be done to the exterior of 4600 North Marine in Uptown. But the bricks are on, the windows are in, and the crane is down. But as you’ll see, Gilbane is nearing the home stretch.

Donate633 South LaSalle (at long last) puts up a tower crane and rises out of the ground [Corrected]
This post has been corrected to show Q Investment Partners of Singapore as the developer.
633 South LaSalle has avoided a forced vacation to Spireville and is now underway in the Printers Row area of the South Loop. The tower crane is up, the core has gone 3-D, and any and all delays — pandemic-related or otherwise — are a thing of the past. Thrilled and relieved to see this one get going.
This will be an 18-story co-living development, consisting of 117 units and 381 beds. Why co-living in the South Loop? Students. Roosevelt University, Columbia College, DePaul, East-West University, etc. Lots of kids need lots of places to stay.
Tip o’the cap to Chicago Cityscape for letting me know the tower crane was up.
Here are the players at 633 South LaSalle:
Clark Construction is the general contractor.
Adjustable Concrete Construction is the concrete contractor.
Berkelhamer is the design architect.
FitzGerald is the architect of record.
Q Investment Partners is the developer.
Was I hallucinating when it came to old permits here? There were a bunch of them, I swear. But now there are only three on the City of Chicago website:
Tower crane, issued 3/24/2023
Caissons, issued 4/25/2023
Full build, issued 6/1/2023
Here are some pics. Some much more compelling pics than the bare lot I’ve visited in recent months:

Arthur on Aberdeen apartment development is topped out in the West Loop
Last week, LG Group announced the topping out of Arthur on Aberdeen, the 19-story, 363-unit apartment building in Chicago’s West Loop. So last week, I took a 360-degree walk around the site for a look at progress from GC Power Construction and CC (concrete contractor) McHugh Concrete.
Congrats to the entire team, including design-architect NORR, and the topping out of a great-looking building on a sunny day.

DonateCoppia apartment building is beginning to rise at 1101 West Van Buren
Coppia, a 19-story, 298-unit residential tower from developer Pizzuti, broke ground early this year at 1101 West Van Buren Street in the West Loop.

foundations through level 4 on 1/18/2023
Photos taken April 12:
The second grouping of photos was taken March 15. There wasn’t much to see then. But lots of progress since.

DonateGlazing Gets Going at Arthur on Aberdeen
Arthur on Aberdeen, the residential project at 210 North Aberdeen in the West Loop from LG Group, has grown by leaps and bounds since I last stopped by in August. I went by last week and found the first level of curtain wall almost complete. And you know how much I enjoy seeing the early signs of glass on a building. I figure it’s about time I posted some of those photos, eh?
Power Construction is on duty here as the general contractor. McHugh Concrete is handling masonry duties.
The NORR-designed apartment tower will boast 363 units across 19 stories.
